Comment: An unsubstantiated story, but one that I find very believable, is that the
name was changed from "rapeseed oil" to "canola oil" because after the
feminist movement hit in the '60's, no woman was going to cook with
something called "rapeseed". It wouldn't be the first time the name of a
food was changed to appeal more to consumers, although it doesn't *always*
work out as intended.

Garbanzo beans are sometimes marketed as "chickpeas"

For a while, prunes were being sold as "dried plums"

When restaurants weren't selling very much "Patagonian tooth fish", the
name was changed to "Chilean sea bass"

I'm sure there are others, those are just the ones that came quickly to
mind.

I think garbanzo beans/chickpeas is more of a regional thing. I grew up knowing them as garbanzos on the west coast, and had never heard of them called chickpeas until I moved to the Midwest.

They're always chickpeas here. First time I saw garbanzos listed as ingredients (from a website) I confused the heck out of local stores as no-one had ever heard that term. Same happened when I came across cilantro on an ingredients list; it's always coriander here.
